The 2007-2008 Faculty Calendar provides a guide to opportunities for engagement and development of all faculty at Millikin University. These events provide a rich life of learning on campus as faculty share in workshops, professional presentations, brown bag discussions and artistic performances. Don’t miss these opportunities to be engaged and energized by our creative community of faculty. One of our main events for 2008 was the annual Millikin Interdisciplinary Faculty Conference 2008 held on February 16, 2008.
